ReGrow the Loop to hold workshop about palms Three master gardeners will share their knowledge about Florida palm trees during a free workshop from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 24, at the Ormond Beach Regional Library, at 30 S. Beach St. The master gardeners — Jennifer Condo, Chris Nott and Shani Hervey, will provide tips on caring for palms, according to a Volusia County press release. They will also discuss the palms’ environmental importance. The free workshop is sponsored by Volusia County’s ReGrow the Loop initiative, created by the County Council to enhance the 30-mile Ormond Beach Scenic Loop and Trail, which is both a Florida Scenic Highway and a National Scenic Byway. ReGrow the Loop, in collaboration with UF/IFAS Extension Volusia County and other local organizations, aims to eradicate invasive plant species, increase native vegetation, attract more wildlife and pollinators, and bring about sustainability practices to the Loop. Registration for the workshop is required. Visit https://tinyurl.com/ regrowtheloop.
Developer proposes 2,500 homes for Ormond Crossings
City rejects bid for new roof for historic church
In 2004, the city of Ormond Beach annexed 3,095 acres of land for a planned community. The community, known as Ormond Crossings, was approved to have a business park, town center and 2,950 residential units, according to the development order. Ormond Crossings is projected to span “5 million square feet in industrial and commercial office space, create approximately 11,000 jobs, increase the local annual property revenues by $42 million and stimulate construction spending by $575 million over a 20-year period,” the development’s website states. Planning between the city, county and Tomoka Holdings began in 2002. On Wednesday, Sept. 27, representatives from Meritage Homes met with the Ormond Beach Site Plan Review Committee to discuss constructing 2,500 single-family homes on the property, which is located next to the Ormond Beach Municipal Airport along the east and west sides of I-95 and south of U.S. 1 within Volusia and Flagler counties. In 2013, the city approved an ordinance rezoning the property to a Planned Mixed-Use development. The first development within Ormond Crossings was Security First Insurance, which opened its $38.2 million headquarters in 2019. According to the meeting’s minutes, if Meritage Homes moves forward with the development, the company anticipates it will phase the project from north to south. A new school would need to be constructed. The Volusia County School Board prefers a K-8 over an elementary school. Though there are 743 acres of wetlands within the planned residential areas of the property, Meritage Homes said the development has
After receiving a bid of $157,575.56 for a roof replacement for the Pilgrims Rest Church at Bailey Riverbridge Gardens — a bid that came in more than $110,000 over budget — the City Commission unanimously voted to reject the bid at its Oct. 4 meeting, asking the city to adjust its process to attract more local bids. The item, which was part of the meeting’s consent agenda, was pulled by Commissioner Travis Sargent, who said he had issues with only one company bidding on the project — despite the fact that a Port Orange company gave them an estimate. The roof replacement was estimated at $45,000. The bid received was over 250% higher and came from a company from Fort Lauderdale. Because it is a historic property, the city was planning to replace the cedar shake roof using the same material. If the commission wants to explore using a different material, it would need to be first discussed by the Historic Landmark Preservation Board.

been designed to reduce impacts. About 7.6 acres of wetlands are proposed to be impacted. The concept plan proposes 45 acres of parks. The members of the SPRC were concerned about traffic, particularly about access points on Tymber Creek Road. “The thought of 2,500 homes dumped into Tymber Creek Road,
which is a two-lane road, is scary,” City Planning Civil Engineer David Allen said. Meritage Homes said the property owners have spoken with the Florida Department of Transportation about plans to widen Tymber Creek to four lanes, as well as for connection to U.S. 1 and the addition of a traffic signal at that entrance.

dvancing innovation. That was the theme of Ormond Beach Mayor Bill Partington’s 2023 State of the City address, delivered to a crowd of about 210 people at Oceanside Country Club on Tuesday, Oct. 10. “Ormond Beach has always celebrated its timeless charm, evoking thoughts of our close-knit community and the warmth of small town life, paired with unparalleled amenities and events,” Partington said. “As we celebrate this past year, we are not just preserving that identity, but also embracing our potential as a beacon of novel ideas and transformative initiatives.” The annual event was presented by the city and the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce. It celebrated the achievements of its manufacturers, locally owned businesses, upcoming investments and partnerships. As customary, the mayor’s address was accompanied by a video highlighting milestones reached over the past year. Among those were the expansions of GermFree and Valiant Modular, two local manufacturers. Since January, over 690 jobs were added to Ormond Beach’s economy, according to the city. “Our business community has always offered fresh perspectives, but is now on the cusp of pioneering breakthroughs,” Partington said. “The spirit of entrepreneurship is evolving, challenging the status quo and setting ambitious milestones for our city.”
SAFETY FIRST
The video address highlighted pedestrian safety projects, including the Florida Department of Transportation’s planned improvements for Granada Boulevard from Yonge Street to A1A, and from A1A north to Sandra Drive. FDOT will also install seven new pedestrian crossings on A1A equipped with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons. This is planned to be completed early next year, said Commissioner Harold Briley in the video. “These projects will slow driving speeds, improve pedestrian safety and encourage multimodal use,” he said. The city’s Public Safety fund — a dedicated property tax fund created in fiscal year 2021-2022 — budgeted the addition of nine police vehicles, the replacement of a fire brush truck and wholesale tactical equipment replacement, and two new commercial gear dryers for the 2022-2023 year. For the 2023-2024 fiscal year, the city plans to replace another nine police vehicles and add two new police officer positions as well as one fire inspector. The city also plans to replace all of its body cameras and implement an enhanced fire hydrant inspection program. City Commissioner Susan Persis spoke in the video about the development of the downtown, including the newly-expanded Ormond Memorial Art Museum, the Cupola at Oceanside townhome development and the 121 East condominiums. “Such redevelopment projects not only rejuvenate the community but strengthen its ability to cater to local amenities and businesses,” she said.
“Let's make 2023 a year where Ormond Beach doesn't just resonate with its past, but forward crafts its innovative future” MAYOR BILL PARTINGTON
PRESERVATION AND COLLABORATIONS
The address celebrated the purchase of 19 acres of land known as the Penland and Pomerenke property near Riverbend Nature Park. This was the city’s first partnership with Volusia Forever. “This joint effort will preserve environmentally sensitive land for its natural resources for future generations, while allowing the city to expand with recreational opportunities for our residents,” Commissioner Lori Tolland said in the video. The city also received $7.5 million in state appropriations for three of its water projects: a stormwater pump station and force main to provide flood control benefits in the Central Park area, a new reclaimed water storage reservoir to reduce the city’s discharge into the Halifax River to less than 10%, and a watermain loop along S.R. 40 and Airport Road for consistent water pressure. The video address also celebrated the opening of a new outdoor basketball court at the South Ormond Neighborhood Center and two new collaborations: One with the Volusia Flagler Chapter of SCORE to establish a business assistance center at City Hall and the other with the Ormond Beach Chamber of Commerce for its youth leadership program. “The city is blessed with many philanthropic projects, which helped build the capacity of the city to advance the quality of life in Ormond Beach and creating quality space for our residents for generations to come,” Commissioner Travis Sargent said. ‘WE ARE LEADERS’
Partington said serving as the city’s mayor is an honor. (Partington announced in March that he would not be running for reelection, filing instead to run for the Florida House.) “Let’s make 2023 a year where Ormond Beach doesn’t just resonate with its past, but forward crafts its innovative future,” Partington said. In the video, he quoted late Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs: “Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.” “Here in Ormond Beach, we are leaders,” Partington said. “We are innovators and our collective efforts over the past year have resulted in extraordinary progress, touching all aspects of our lives.”
2023 AWARD RECIPIENTS Every year, the recipients of the Mayor’s Award for Civic Engagement are recognized during the State of the City address. This year’s awards went to...
Travis Lenander, CEO of CO2Meter, for his company’s recent expansion to a 30,000-square-foot facility in Ormond Beach’s Airport Business park.

Cassen Park redesign team focuses on boaters, parking and gardens Here’s what Cassen Park could look like one day. JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR
When it comes to redesigning Cassen Park, Zev Cohen and Associates focused its concept on what its architectural team coined the “Big Three” — Boaters, walkers and the creation of a front lawn for City Hall. The proposed design for the park was shown to the City Commission during a workshop on Wednesday, Oct. 4. The concept plans show an increase of parking spaces from the current 39 spots to 53 — with 48 designed for boat trailers — as well as a new bait shop and restroom building, native gardens and a future potential south plaza with picnic tables, swinging benches and a new sculpture, which was recently donated to the city. “When we began this process with getting consultants, we were given the charge of, ‘This is the project that we want. We want to see what Cassen Park is going to look like for the next 50 years,’” Public Works Director Shawn Finley said.
A bird’s eye view of what Cassen Park is proposed to look like after its redesign.
A view of the proposed central green space at Cassen Park.
In December 2022, the Ormond Beach City Commission unanimously approved a $202,155 contract to Zev Cohen for the design and required permitting for the redevelopment project, which was funded with Community Redevelopment Agency dollars, since the park is located within the CRA district at the southwest corner of the Granada Bridge. The redesign of the park has been in the works since 2020 when the commission, who acts as the city’s CRA, directed staff to pursue the project because the 3-acre park, which includes resident Ike Leary’s bait shop, was prone to flooding. Then in February 2022, the city conducted several public meetings to gather input from the community about what the park should look like. Four concepts were presented, and
Renderings by Marquis Latimer + Halback
the commission asked for elements to be combined from each plan. Landscape architect Jeremy Marquis, of Marquis Latimer + Halback, presented the concept plan to the commission. His firm designed the Riverfront Esplanade in Daytona Beach. “We want to make a wonderful park,” Marquis said. “But ... if we’re not taking care of what the primary users are, we haven’t done our jobs.” And Cassen Park’s primary users are boaters. The concept plan shows wider turns and a one-way traffic flow that goes into a drop-off area in front of the proposed bait shop and restroom building. Of the 53 proposed parking spaces, five will be designed for passenger cars. Marquis said this is because, during non-peak hours, a car can
park in a trailer spot if needed, but boaters need deeper parking spots for their trailers. The onstreet parking along South Beach Street will remain. The plans also show a series of walking paths. Marquis said that the design for the front lawn is something he was particularly excited about. The central green space with the veterans memorial is designed to be a formal, but flexible space, he said. “I think the formality of it really just makes it feel like just like a beautiful space,” Marquis said. The city will hold another workshop with the commission to finalize design elements before the park’s redesign is submitted out for bid. Construction is expected to take about six months.

Lewis Heaster gave $10,000, and Rabbi Reuven Silverman offered $500, bringing the starting match fund to $11,500. Since declaring its independence in 1948, Israel has fought and won numerous wars, Miller said. “Every Arab country that fought [Israel] still exists,” he said. “Just bear in mind, should Israel have lost one war, we’d have no history.” The city of Ormond Beach stands with its Jewish residents, said Mayor Bill Partington at the vigil. You are not alone, he said. “The shocking terroristic acts by Hamas and the heart-wrenching toll it has taken on innocent lives are profoundly saddening and condemnable,” Partington said. “No religious, political or ideological justification can ever legitimize the indiscriminate killing of civilians, or the acts of abducting innocent women, children and the elderly.

and harm inflicted upon the people of Israel is unimaginable, and we as a community denounce these acts of terror with the strongest possible conviction.” Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood, who has been vocal in his defense of the Jewish community against local antisemitic displays by a neo-Nazi group, called members of Hamas “terrorists.” “They are the blood-thirsty animals who are terrorists,” Chitwood said. “Think of what they did — unarmed civilian population of men, women, children and grandmothers, and they assassinated them. That’s what they need to be called.” Lennick said one of the ways to help Israel is to demand fair reporting from news outlets. He said there’s a disconnect between who are the perpetrators and who are the victims. “Too often those who try to harm Israel are called militants,” Lennick

said. “Well, I can tell you, the Hamas killers are not militants. They are not just combative and aggressive in support of a political cause. If we call them militants, it suggests that they’re fighting for something worthy, calling for sympathy, or understanding. The Hamas perpetrators are murderous terrorists, plain and simple.”

Seeing the aftermath of the Hamas attack on Israel — the kidnappings, deaths and injuries of thousands of civilians — Rabbi Rob Lennick said the Jewish community can only feel grief and anger. “We have been here before,” said Lennick, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler Counties. “We have also overcome time and again. Our history is one in which our people have seen the depths of despair and the heights of hopefulness, and let’s face it — everything in between. But through it all, our Jewish community near and far is resilient and we will continue to be.” To help with humanitarian needs in Israel, the local Jewish Federation organization has pledged $100,000 of its reserve funds. Lennick asked the community to help match it. The announcement came during the Jewish Federation’s communitywide vigil and memorial for Israel on Monday, Oct. 9, at Temple Beth El in Ormond Beach. The vigil featured prayers from local rabbis as well as speeches from elected officials and other faith groups representatives. The vigil came after Hamas, a Palestinian militant group, attacked Israel with thousands of rockets and sent fighters into the country in a surprise attack, according to global news reports. Israel responded with its own attack on the Gaza Strip and formally declared war on Sunday. “What is going on in Israel now is catastrophic for its impacts for real people, living their daily lives, and in psychological terms as well, because once again, Israel’s very right to exist has been attacked,” Lennick said. “But let me say to be perfectly more accurate: It’s really about the rights of Jews to exists.” Marvin Miller, president of the Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler Counties, and his wife offered $1,000 to match the nonprofit’s donation.

COPS CORNER SEPT. 25
AISLE EXPOSURE 10:40 p.m. — 1500 block of West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach Indecent exposure. A big box store manager called police after one of her employees got an eyeful while stocking shelves. The employee had been working in the store’s hair care and cosmetic aisle when a man approached her, according to a police report. The man asked her a question about a shampoo, and when she turned around, the employee saw that the man’s genitals were exposed. Scared, the employee ran to a different aisle. She didn’t know where the man went after the incident. The store manager found a man outside who may have been the suspect, but he refused to speak and left in a car, the police report states.
OCT. 4
DROP-OFF LANE ROAD RAGE 7:56 a.m. — 2100 block of Airport Road, Ormond Beach Disturbance. Police responded to a local elementary school after its principal reported an argument with a parent in the drop-off lane. The principal told police that the parent, a 33-year-old woman from Palm Coast, was driving carelessly in the drop-off lane, according to an incident report. When he went to stop her by stepping into the traffic lane, he said, the woman braked “just before hitting him.” He told police he smacked his palm on her passenger window to get her attention, and that the two had a verbal argument before she left. The principal wished to have her trespassed from school property, but because the woman was not present when police arrived, that was not possible, the officer told him. Police later spoke with the woman over the phone, and she

said she wished to sit down with the principal to resolve the matter because being trespassed would make it difficult to take her child to school.
OCT. 5
BATHROOM BREAK 1:49 a.m. — 400 block of South Church Street, Bunnell Resist officers. A 49-year-old man disobeyed an order from a deputy because he had to use the bathroom, according to the Sheriff’s Office. Just before 2 a.m., a Sheriff’s Office deputy spotted two men riding their bicycles on the wrong side of the road, according to the 49-year-old’s arrest report. The deputy flashed his lights to initiate a traffic stop. One of the riders stopped his bike in the driveway of a home on South Church Street, while the other ran inside the home without
stopping, even though the officer called for him to come back. The deputy knocked on the door and spoke to a woman, who made the 49-year-old man exit the home. The deputy arrested the man for ignoring the deputy’s orders. When asked why he didn’t stop, the man told the deputy that he had to use the bathroom.
OCT. 7
GOING DOWN KICKING 12:44 p.m. — 5000 block of State Road 100, Bunnell Resist arrest, battery on an officer. A drug store on S.R. 100 called Sheriff’s Office deputies about a woman who walked out of the store with a grocery cart full of stolen merchandise. An employee gave the Sheriff’s Office a description of the woman, and deputies quickly found her walking west on S.R. 100 with a grocery cart. When a deputy attempted to detain the woman, she began to struggle, trying to twist around to face the deputy, according to the
woman’s arrest report. Another deputy arrived, and the two deputies got the woman on the ground and arrested her as she kicked and struggled. As the deputies stood her back up to place her in a patrol car, the woman squirmed kicked at and bit at the deputies, according to the report. She managed to kick one deputy in the shins. A store employee retrieved the cart of merchandise and told the deputies that the store would not press charges but wanted the woman trespassed. She was taken to jail for battery on an officer and resisting arrest.

Retiring health officer leaves legacy STATE Bob Snyder’s quick response to COVID and expansion of several programs are among his accomplishments. BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Bob Snyder is retiring for the second time in his long career as a health care administrator. This one, he says, will stick. If the first one stuck, Snyder never would have become the administrator of the Florida Department of Health in Flagler County, a position he held for the past eight and a half years. In that time, he helped establish an HIV program and a diabetes education and prevention program. He expanded the department’s dental program, which has become the largest pediatric dental practice in the county, primarily taking care of children on Medicaid. He spent eight years lobbying for more equitable funding from the state. When he became the Health Department’s administrator, Flagler County had the lowest per capita share of non-categorical general state revenue, because the allocation was based on population figures dating back 25 or 30 years, Snyder said. “It took a while, but it was an eight-year-long effort to get that fixed and corrected,” he said. “And it was done through cooperation with colleagues with the Health

Bob Snyder has retired as the administrator for the Florida Department of Health in Flagler County.
we had good partners. But Bob was instrumental in coordinating with these all these different people.” Snyder originally came to Flagler County in 1997 to oversee the planning, development and construction of a new hospital, which is now AdventHealth Palm Coast, off State Road 100. Snyder and his wife, Michele, remained in Flagler Beach while he worked for Orlando Health as a chief operating officer and administrator as several Central Florida hospitals. He thought he was retiring in 2012 until, through the Flagler Beach Rotary Club, he met Patrick Johnson, the administrator of the Flagler County Health Department. Johnson brought Snyder on board as the department’s business manager. Two years later, Johnson retire, and Snyder was appointed the administrator by the state’s Surgeon General. “Health departments don’t look at metrics like a company would to gauge what each department accomplished,” Bickel said. “If they did, Bob would be getting accolades, because what he did was just so proactive, so energetic. He was always looking to add new programs. He’s always been supportive of trying to do primary care, filling gaps in the community. It’s going to be very hard to replace him, very hard.” Stephen Civitelli, the Volusia County Health Department’s administrator, has been named the interim administrator in Flagler County. Snyder will continue to work with Bickel on the board of directors and executive committee of Flagler Cares. He will continue to work with the county to get a second Health Department building constructed, this one in Palm Coast, that will also house Flagler Cares and the Flagler County Village, a hub of several organizations that assist the most vulnerable residents of the county. He will continue to be on the board of the Rotary Club and he has been named the new coordinator of the Eucharistic ministry at the hospital representing St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church. That’s what retirement looks like for Bob Snyder.

Department, as well as getting a big assist from our state representative and speaker of the House, Paul Renner, and also Sen. Travis Hutson.” Snyder’s greatest and most rewarding challenge was leading the department’s response to COVID-19. He coordinated with the city, the county, the media, local churches and organizations and even bars and restaurants where the department provided testing and vaccinations. “We were participating in town halls with the city on a regular basis, weekly and monthly, and on Free for All Fridays (on Flagler Broadcasting),” said Dr. Stephen Bickel, the Health Department’s medical director. “The testing program Bob rolled out was extraordinary, and that was followed by the vaccination program.” The department coordinated drive-thru vaccinations at the Flagler County Fairgrounds for up to 700 people a day for several months. “Whoever thought there would be a global pandemic? With our numerous senior citizens that live here, our response was very important, and it needed to be done effectively and efficiently,” Snyder said. “We did it with a wonderful medical director in Dr. Bickel, a fantastic Health Department team, a group of volunteers and a partnership with many groups and organizations.” Bickel said, “For the longest time, we had the lowest case rate in the state for a county, and we still are quite low.

BRIEF
DeSantis calls for Iran sanctions Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday, Oct. 10, called for increased state sanctions against Iran for aiding Hamas in the deadly surprise attack in Israel over the weekend. Appearing at a South Florida synagogue, DeSantis said he will ask lawmakers during the 2024 legislative session to further block Iranian business ties in Florida in a way “that will make a difference in terms of the substance, but I think symbolically, be also important.” Iran already is on a list of nations where, for example, state investments are prohibited. DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate, said during the appearance at the Shul of Bal Harbour in Surfside his proposal will reinforce a commitment against doing business with state sponsors of terrorism. While a detailed proposal was not issued, it could affect such things as the financial, construction, manufacturing and mining sectors, according to information released by his office. “We’re going to prohibit state and local governments from contracting with any company on this expanded sectors list, and we will not lift the sanctions until both the president and the U.S. Congress certify that Iran has stopped supporting international terrorism in seeking to acquire weapons of mass destruction,” DeSantis said. But Rep. Anna Eskamani, an Orlando Democrat whose parents immigrated from Iran, questioned the effectiveness of proposing enhanced state sanctions. “I have never even heard of a state sanctioning a foreign country, and the United States has already placed heavy sanctions on Iran which have been pretty constant through several presidents,” Eskamani said in a text message. Florida already lists Iran as a “foreign country of concern,” along with China, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria. Since 2008, Florida has prohibited state agencies and local governments from contracting for goods and services of more than $1 million with any business that has contracts with the Iranian government. A state law passed this spring placed land-ownership restrictions on people from the foreign countries of concern. The U.S. and Iran have not had a formal diplomatic relationship since 1979, when Iranians took over the American embassy, according to the U.S. Department of State. The U.S. has imposed numerous sanction programs that restrict access to the United States for companies that engage in certain commercial activities in Iran. Florida Senate President Kathleen Passidomo, R-Naples, and House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, voiced support Tuesday for DeSantis’ proposal in a news release from the governor’s office. “We must ensure we are doing everything within our authority as a state government to protect Floridians from this dangerous and corrupt regime,” Passidomo said in a statement. The 2024 session will start in January. Eskamani said resolutions have been filed for the session supporting the people of Israel. And she suggested Florida could expand “services and provide financial support for refugees.” DeSantis said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Florida Highway Patrol and Attorney General Ashley Moody will issue a reminder that Florida bars actions supporting terrorism, including raising money for Hamas or other groups. –JIM TURNER, THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA

Board members distrust own attorney Sheriff: Unlikely Flagler Schools will recover $719,000 lost to fraud
BRENT WORONOFF ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Flagler County School Board members’ recent evaluations of Board Attorney Kristy Gavin shed light on why the board is paying an outside law firm $5,000 to find a way to terminate Gavin’s contract. Gavin, who has been the board’s attorney for 17 years, had her contract renewed for three years in December 2021 by a 3-2 vote. The two board members who voted against renewal are no longer on the board. But the three newest board members, who were sworn in last year, all gave Gavin unfavorable reviews this past month. Gavin’s contract states she can be terminated for just cause, “defined as dereliction of duty, failure to report to work, misconduct in office or violation of criminal law.” Her job duties specify providing legal services for the board as well as the school district. Board member Christy Chong, in her evaluation, cited a lack of trust in Gavin in two of her comments. Chong also cited a lack of communication and said, “I do not believe there is impartiality among board members and I do not believe we are treated equitably.” Board members Sally Hunt and Will Furry also brought up trust issues. “Myself and other board members have expressed distrust in Ms. Gavin,” Furry commented in his evaluation. In her comments under the category of “Relationships with the Board,” Hunt wrote: “I have not, as one equal board member, had access to a trusted attorney to provide the
legal guidance I need to perform my duties as an elected board member.” Furry suggested that Gavin spend less time “on media relations.” Hunt went a step further. “I am appalled Attorney Gavin believes it is appropriate to share comments with media without consent from the board, either on or off the record,” Hunt wrote. The Observer frequently asks questions of Gavin — as well as other attorneys representing local government entities — about legal issues. Hunt said she has found Gavin to “lack judgment and professional acumen in her role. She does not serve as a neutral party.” As an example, Hunt used Gavin’s handling of public record requests, which she said “are not handled equally or in accordance with the law.” The Observer asked Hunt for a specific example of this claim. Hunt responded in an Oct. 6 text that she is “currently out of town and not currently available for comment.” In an email to the Observer, Gavin said she can’t comment on the claim because she has not had a conversation with Hunt on the matter. “What I can say to you is that the District has always provided a good faith response when a request has been received,” Gavin wrote. In an interview with the Observer in March, Hunt said she was upset by public record requests concerning her text messages with then Wadsworth Elementary School Principal Paul Peacock. Gavin, at the time, said the district requested that Hunt provide her phone to the district’s technology department to offload the messages. Hunt said she was not comfortable bringing her phone into the district office. Public record requests are not listed among Gavin’s job duties in her contract, but Gavin said in an email that they came under her purview several years ago because of
litigation elsewhere. Board Chair Cheryl Massaro and Vice Chair Colleen Conklin both provided very favorable evaluations of Gavin. Conklin wrote: “I have always found that Kristy works from a high ethical standard. … She has attempted to work collaboratively with board members. She is knowledgeable of the law and works to effectively communicate this knowledge with others.” Massaro wrote, “Ms. Gavin is extremely professional even under constant harassment, numerous public records requests, as well as being short staffed. … I believe she always puts the district needs and interests first, to find amicable solutions to concerns, and keeps Flagler Schools moving forward.” Under “Objectives for Improving Performance,” Massaro wrote Gavin needs to “update the board of district litigation issues quarterly.” Chong wrote that the board is “not updated on state and federal legislation.” Massaro agreed with the three newest board members to hire the firm of Shutts & Bowen to look into terminating Gavin’s contract. Massaro suggested the possibility of moving Gavin into a district role, with the board contracting with a law firm to take over the board’s legal needs. The board members could decide their next step at the Oct. 17 business meeting.

YOUR TOWN STUDENTS TAKE PART IN NATIONAL PRAYER EVENT
File photo
At Imagine, 15 students in the fifth through eighth grades participated in the event, seventh-grade teacher Jessica Bowman wrote in an email to the Observer. Bowman wrote that adults led the prayer at Imagine because of the age of the students who chose to participate. “[See You at the Pole] is a time for students to come together in fellowship and share the opportunity to pray,” Bowman wrote. Danielle Geiger, a member of Flagler Fellowship of Christian Athletes, said FCA helped support students who chose to participate by helping them decide which scriptures to read from and how to pray. Geiger said a group of 25 students participated at FPCHS, about 10 students participated at BTMS and around four students at ITMS.
it, Staly said. “In my opinion, at least at this stage, it is unlikely that we will recover the money that has been taken because of the time delay when it occurred and when the school district and the correct contractor found out they were the victim of a fraud,” Staly said. “These cases take time and sometimes they are not found right away, and that’s what makes these cases so difficult.” Staly has had personal experience investigating cybercrimes. Typically, the crimes are perpetrated by a foreign operator as part of a ring that operates out of foreign countries, he said. Staly said cybercriminals usually target a “mule” by placing a virus on a computer. “Eventually, they get someone to do an ACH transfer or they do it themselves,” Staly said. “It appears that this was an ACH transfer. We’ll know more when the forensic autopsy is done on (the district) computer.” Staly speculated that there was a breach in which an employee with the district or the contractor unwittingly provided information that led to the fraud. Flagler School Superintendent LaShakia Moore said she is confident that if there is a way to recover the funds, the Sheriff’s Office will find a way to do that. “We are not concerned that any of our finances or any any of our other data is at jeopardy,” Moore said. “But again, it is early in the investigation, and we will continue to work with the sheriff’s department.” When asked if the district was insured for the loss of funds, Moore said, “We are looking at all of our options.”

Students at several Flagler County schools participated in the national See You at the Pole prayer event on Sept. 27. Students met in the morning before school around the school’s flag pole for prayer at Imagine School at Town Center, Indian Trails Middle School, Buddy Taylor Middle School, Flagler Palm Coast High School and First Baptist Christian Academy. See You at the Pole is a student-led, national prayer event held on the fourth Wednesday of September, according to the official SYATP Facebook page.
$700,000 that was stolen from the district through a fraudulent electronic money transfer. The school district discovered the theft after the contractor for the Matanzas High School expansion project told district staff on Oct. 2 that it had not received a scheduled payment. The contractor for the project is H.A. Contracting Corp., out of Miami-Dade County. The district likely transferred $719,583.20 to a fraudulent account, Staly said in a news conference on Oct. 4 outside of the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Operations Center. “The contractor was looking for payment. The school district said they sent it. (The contractor) never received it,” Staly said. The FCSO is conducting the investigation into the cybertheft. The FBI and the Secret Service, which investigates financial crimes, have been consulted, Staly said. According to a heavily redacted FCSO case report, the school district informed the Sheriff’s Office of the theft on Oct. 3. The district received several communications beginning on July 19 that attempted to set up an Automated Clearing House network. On Sept. 22, purchasing records show “a check” of $719,583.20 was paid to what is believed to be a fraudulent account. The FCSO has seized a computer from the district and will perform a forensic autopsy that will hopefully show when and how the fraud occurred. The department also hopes to get a computer from the contractor. If the contractor does not provide the computer, the department will seek a subpoena to access

in “putting out fires” rather than taking the initiative when officials were presented with this project in June 2022 and preventing the firestorm. I am grateful to S.R. Perrott for filing a petition with FDEP on an inadequate public notice. The air permit application by Belvedere Facility in Fort Pierce went from draft on April 6 to issuance on June 7 with Ormond Beach’s going from draft on July 13 to issuance on Aug. 1. Luckily for the proposed Jacksonville facility, residents began
opposition early and as such there has been no air permit issued (at time of this writing). Belvedere Fuel Terminals is taking aim at Ormond Beach and Volusia County as easy targets while our officials were asleep at the helm. As their CFO seeks public sympathy with most all area news broadcasters and continues to change their site plans, anything less than a stop will open the door for future additional tanks in Ormond Beach. They also announce 10 facilities across Florida over the next five years; this
is not good for our delicate environment and certainly not good for Florida’s tourism economy. Volusia County Legal Department must not hide behind SB 250 and seek assistance from state law makers and Gov. DeSantis to interpret as this newly created law could not possibly be relative in this instance. CELIA LIST Ormond Beach

Hometownie Hero
Welcome to my midlife crisis Humor columnist Mike Cavaliere returns to the Observer older, more anxious and less self-assured than ever. But his teeth look great. I mean, just look at them.

My mouth was full of puddy. “I’m gonna come in from behind,” the hygienist told me, reaching around my head to stretch open my lips, stuff in a tray full of Play-Doh then press it against my top chompers (that’s the medical term for what we laypeople call “teeth,” she explained). When she did, globs of goo oozed from the sides of the trays, all but blocking my windpipe. I stifled panic and breathed slowly through my nose. “Think about anything other than the plaster,” she told me. So I stared out the window and pictured a rotisserie chicken — instant Zen.

Then it hit me: So this is what my midlife crisis looks like, huh? I’d been building to this. My pearly whites have been more like pearly wongs lately, but it was more what the dinge represented that bothered me: the wear and tear of everyday life. Time stubbornly passing. Peeking out from behind my lips, my tarnished teeth were like the 10% of an iceberg that’s visible above water, while another 90% of swirling, so-cold-it-hurts anxiety hides beneath the surface, inside my broken brain. For months, I’ve been spiraling: Should I move away? Launch a startup? Become a nomad? Finally make the switch from Frosted MinWheats to un-frosted Shredded Wheat? And all that rumination led me here, to Cypress Point Family Dentistry, desperate for answers. “If it can stain a tablecloth, it can stain your teeth,” the hygien-

ist, Marsha, said, offering the type of sage counsel I’ve come to expect from this church of oral/spiritual renewal. “Coffee, red wine, blueberries — you name it.” “But I love all of those things!” I yelped. “Well, there ya go.” And in the silence that followed, I felt we were sharing memories of me back in my prime. Naturally white teeth beaming. Smile lighting up a room. All the potential in the world! Now? Marsha was clearly disappointed in my decline. “It happens,” she said, shrugging. But I knew what she meant: “You ... disgust me.” Some people buy boats or learn karate when they feel 40 looming. Others jump out of airplanes or eat blowfish. Me? I get my teeth whitened, which, really, was kind of my only option here. Too cheap to buy things, too scared to do things and too ashamed to nip or tuck things, whitening offers all the delusion of selfimprovement without any of the time, cost or effort. And hey, I know a deal when I see one! “Just 30 more seconds,” the hygienist told me, as a stray streak

ACCREDITED REAL ESTATE COURSE RECENTLY HELD AT B-CU The Central Florida Chapter of the CCIM Institute held its Foundations for Success in Commercial Real Estate accredited course at BethuneCookman University last month.

of plaster tightened on my cheek. Next, the bleach. “You’ll feel some zingers,” they said. But of course pain is part of it, right? Fact is, I’ve been here before — both in the throes of a philosophical whirlwind, and in the Observer. Ten years ago, I was a reporter here and wrote about my twentysomething angst in a weekly column. Today, I notice that everything and nothing has changed. I’m back, but I’m older now, married, a stepfather; I have two dogs and one air fryer (see: chronic rotisserie chicken cravings above). And from my dental chair, mouth crammed full of concrete, I’m watching through the window as a businessman in a full suit and tie swats at a wasp’s nest next door. He’s swinging a pole at it, muttering and wiping sweat from his face, willing to risk a sting or two if it only means he made a difference, did something. He’s flailing at the nest as if it really matters, like the bugs won’t just rebuild again tomorrow. And in this moment, I see that we’re the same.
Healthier, Wealthier, Wiser, Inc. board, volunteers and executive director held their fourth 2023 Seminar Saturday Series presentation on sickle cell awareness on Sept. 30. About 20-25 people came out to hear about sickle cell and treatments from speakers Donna Edwards, a registered nurse; and Keiana Long Hargrett, director of Levi Long Sickle Cell Association of Daytona Beach. Healthier, Wealthier, Wiser, Inc. was launched in 2022 by Belinda C. Davis, of Ormond Beach. The nonprofit concentrates on empowering citizens on managing their medical diagnoses along with educating and bringing awareness to citizens on the fundamental’s steps of remaining disease-free, according to a press release. HWW, Inc. is made 100% possible thanks to volunteerism. During the seminars, the nonprofit presents health care providers as speakers, free health screenings, and a free “lunch and learn.” The nonprofit plans to expand into Holly Hill and Daytona Beach in 2024.

Volunteers help plant trees around Tymber Creek’s retention pond.
TYMBER CREEK RETENTION POND GETS NEW TREES Despite rainy conditions, Volusia County planted 30 trees at Tymber Creek on Saturday, Sept. 30, thanks to the help of about 25 volunteers. The trees were planted around the community’s retention pond, located north of the Tymber Creek Subdivision entrance on North Tymber Creek Road. The tree planting was made possible through county’s Tree Replacement Trust program, which is a dedicated account established as a depository for the tree replacement fees and monies that relate to tree preservation, according to the county website.
FPL HOLDS POWER POLE HARDENING AND DRONE DEMO
Florida Power and Light held a live demonstration to showcase the company’s drone capabilities and storm-hardened power poles in Ormond Beach on Wednesday, Oct. 4. The company is wrapping up a 17-year effort to harden nearly 2,000 miles of power lines serving homes and critical community facilities such as hospitals and 911 centers in Volusia County and Central Florida, according to a press release. The demonstration took place at Michael Crotty Bicentennial Park. FPL installed a storm-hardened power pole, built to withstand extreme wind loads and reduce outage times following severe weather. FPL also conducted a drone flight to highlight how it uses technology to proactively assess the energy grid. “For more than a decade, FPL has worked to make its system stronger and more storm-resilient by hardening main power lines across the state to withstand extreme wind loads,” the press release stated. “That includes replacing smaller,

The family is from Holly Hill. “Mom is a long time scrapbooker and dad is a music man,” OMAM stated. “At 9, son Gabe loves creating art through many mediums, from drawing and coloring to creating with Legos and doing tie-dye.” This month’s activity consisted of making a mixed-media fall forrest collage. The museum’s Family Art Night takes place from 5:30-7 p.m. on most first Fridays of the month. All art supplies are provided, and the program is sponsored in part by the Women United Volusia Chapter.

BETTER TOGETHER Finding Parents for Local Siblings
T
hose of us with siblings couldn’t imagine growing up without them. The shared laughs, adventures, and even disagreements were woven together into the very fabric of our childhoods. The relationships with our siblings can be the longest-lasting family bonds that we have. But for children in our community who are transitioning into foster care or adoption, it is often a struggle to stay together. Many groups of siblings have entered the local child welfare system in recent months, especially those ages 9 to 15. The reasons for this are varied and complex, but the challenge is simple and direct: These children and youth need safe, loving foster and adoptive homes where they can live and grow with their siblings. Children who have suffered abuse and neglect often form especially close bonds with their siblings, and research has proven that these children have better outcomes if they stay together in a foster or adoptive home. They experience fewer behavioral and emotional difficulties. They are more likely to settle into their new home successfully. And they enjoy greater levels of support as older youth help their younger siblings adapt to their new surroundings. When siblings move into a new home together, the positive benefits touch every aspect of their young lives. Local people choose to foster or adopt a group of siblings for many reasons. Some seek to welcome a “ready-made” family into their homes. Others are moved by the children’s stories. Almost all who do so act from a deep sense of calling – a spiritual convic-
tion that this is their purpose. The need is real, it is now, and it is right here in our own backyard. Please ask yourself if fostering or adopting is right for you.
LEARN MORE Visit CommunityPartnershipForChildren.org today to learn more about becoming a foster or adoptive parent. Community Partnership for Children is the nonprofit lead agency that cares for abused, neglected, and abandoned children in Volusia, Flagler, and Putnam Counties.
“We have a window of opportunity to have a positive impact on these children.”

While visiting family and friends, Jason McGowan, co-founder and CEO of Crumbl Cookies, had the Schefers taste cookie samples for his upcoming lineup. The Schefers said they fell in love with the cookies and the business, but had to wait until Crumbl Cookies was able to expand to Florida. Eight months later, they got the call and became Crumbl Cookies’ first franchise partner in Florida. “We are partners with my brothers and so every time we open a new location, the goal is to build stronger and better bonds with my family and to extend that same goal out to the communities we serve,” Mark Schefer said. The store at One Daytona was delayed due to permitting and plans, causing the grand opening date to be held later than expected. Hiring was a challenge, as Crumbl Cookies

BRIEFS Pedestrian bridge on Belle Terre reopens The pedestrian bridge on Belle Terre Parkway has reopened after over a year of delays. With the work complete, the courtesy bus Flagler Schools provided to nearby neighborhoods for students at Wadsworth Elementary and Buddy Taylor Middle Schools will no longer be offered, according to a Flagler Schools Facebook post. Elementary school students who live less than 1 mile from school will no longer be eligible for transportation services, nor will middle school students who live less than 2 miles from school. Because the bridge closure impeded students’ access to both schools, Flagler Schools temporarily provided the courtesy bus to those impacted during the closure.
$329 million hurricane plan OK’d The Volusia County Council took a step in addressing Hurricane Ian’s impacts by approving the Transform386 Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery Action Plan during its Oct. 3 meeting. After Hurricane Ian, Congress allocated $3 billion to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to assist affected regions. From that total, $328.9 million was earmarked for Volusia County. A needs assessment showed a demand for housing solutions, and the Transform386 CDBG-DR Action Plan prioritizes housing, dedicating over 60% ($200 million) of the available funding to housing initiatives: Single-Family Housing: A budget of $145 million has been allocated for repairing, reconstructing or replacing homes damaged by the hurricane. Rental Housing Repair: $5 million will assist landlords in repairing storm-affected properties, stipulating they will rent to low-income tenants for the next 20 years Multi-family Housing: With a $50 million budget, this initiative aims to counter the housing shortages intensified by Hurricane Ian, focusing on constructing new affordable housing units. An investment of $93 million of the CDBG-DR funds has also been allocated to fortify the local infrastructure and augment the
community’s resilience. This funding complements the $48 million provided to the county and municipalities by FEMA through its Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. Following the council’s approval, the action plan will be sent to HUD for a final review. To view the entire Action Plan, visit transform386.org.
New Ocean Center director confirmed
Lynn Flanders
Lynn Flanders was unanimously confirmed as the director of the Ocean Center at an Oct. 3 Volusia County Council meeting. Flanders has over 20 years of experience managing convention and performing arts centers. She most recently served as the assistant general manager of the Cobb Marietta Coliseum and Exhibit Hall Authority, where she oversaw the daily operations and services for the Cobb Galleria Center, Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre and Galleria Specialty Shops. “We went out on a nationwide search, and we were very fortunate to find Lynn Flanders,” County Manager George Recktenwald said. “Atlanta is one of the largest entertainment markets in the country. She’s been in the big leagues, so we’re very happy to have her come here.” While Flanders was born and raised in Georgia, she has a special tie to Volusia County. “When my father was a student at Georgia Tech, he was a musician,” she said. “He ventured out with the sax and created a boy band, and they played beach music in the Bandshell in Daytona. He loved Daytona so much that he wrote a song about Daytona, and it made the local charts. We would come here every summer to vacation, and it was something we looked forward to every single year.”

CRIME REPORT Teen bit school staff member, FCSO says A 16-year-old Matanzas High School student bit a staff member who was trying to break up a fight on Oct. 6, according to the FCSO. Deputies have arrested the teen. A fight broke out between two female students in the courtyard around 1 p.m., according to a press release from the FCSO. A staff member tried to stop the fight and wrapped an arm around the 16-yearold, who then bit the staff member on the forearm several times, breaking the skin. The 16-year-old was arrested and charged with battery on a school official. “This lack of respect for teachers
and staff will not be tolerated in our schools,” Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said. “School staff and teachers are here to teach you. Don’t fight in school. It takes a bigger person to walk away from a fight and de-escalate the situation than to engage in a fight or attack a faculty member.”

Man accused of shaking baby An Orlando man was arrested last week for aggravated child abuse after doctors discovered that his infant son had severe brain injuries consistent with abuse from shaking, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office. VSO detectives were notified of the case on Jan. 24, the day after 32-year-old Malcolm Nelson’s 3-month-old baby was rushed to the emergency room after losing
consciousness at a home in Ormond Beach and going into cardiac arrest. After extensive medical evaluation and treatment, doctors determined he had several injuries and fractures from physical abuse such as shaking. Nelson could face an upgraded charge if the infant doesn’t recover from his injuries, VSO reported. The baby, now 11 months old, remains on life support. Nelson had shaken the infant in the past, including the morning he became unresponsive, according to VSO. Nelson was arrested last week in Orlando and transported from the Orange County Jail to the Volusia County Branch Jail on Tuesday, Oct. 3. He’s being held on a $150,000 bond.

Ormond to delete ‘Heavy Industrial’ district Palm Coast will regrade fields at Ralph Carter Park Worried that the new zoning district could pave the way for the unwanted fuel farm, commissioners agreed to get rid of it. JARLEENE ALMENAS MANAGING EDITOR
The city of Ormond Beach will eliminate its newly created “I-2, Heavy Industrial” zoning district, city commissioners agreed at a meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 4. As the city continues to prevent Belvedere Terminals’ construction of a 16-tank fuel farm at 874 Hull Road, residents have been asking the city to eliminate the zoning designation, which was approved via a land development code amendment on Aug. 1. The zoning district, first identified as a future need in a 2010 Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report, was created after the city annexed 52 acres owned by Halifax Paving at 860 Hull Road and 1399 Hull Trail. The Halifax Paving property had a heavy industrial zoning designation from Volusia County, as it was previously unincorporated. The
property at 874 Hull Road, owned by the Florida East Coast Railroad, is also unincorporated and zoned heavy industrial. Properties annexed into the city have a legal right to be assigned a land use and zoning that matches what they had in the county. The city’s I-2 zoning district had identified bulk fuel storage as a conditional use. In a Sept. 8 meeting with the Observer, City Attorney Randy Hayes said that the county’s heavy industrial zoning definition is “so broad” that bulk fuel storage is considered a permitted use. “My understanding of what our planning staff was trying to do was, in recognition that these were uses common in the heavy industrial district, you identify them in your code, and then as a way to restrict their location, you condition those as a conditional use,” Hayes said. With conditional uses, the property would need to go through the Planning Board and City Commission for approval. The city and its residents are not only fighting to keep Belvedere from building a fuel farm in Ormond Beach, resident Robin Magleora said at the Oct. 4 meeting. They’re fighting to keep a fuel farm away from Volusia County — whose 16 municipalities are passing resolutions of

opposition at their government meetings — and they’re fighting to keep it out of Florida, she said. “We are in the forefront,” Magleora said. “We are the one that are battling them right now. We have land that is zoned appropriate for them to move in.” The property at 874 Hull Road is under county jurisdiction, and while Halifax Paving’s property has been annexed, it hasn’t been rezoned to the city’s I-2 district. City Manager Joyce Shanahan said that the zoning district could be eliminated. “I agree, let’s delete it,” Commissioner Susan Persis said. The city will bring back an action item for the commission to vote on regarding the zoning district. This comes after the commission passed two motions stating it would not provide utilities or allow Belvedere to annex into the city at a Sept. 20 meeting. The St. Petersburg-based company is planning to invest about $750 million in the state by constructing a total of 10 fuel terminals within the next five years. The first of three sites planned would be in Jacksonville, followed by spurs in Ormond Beach and Ft. Pierce. Ormond Beach is also working to create an interlocal agreement establishing a joint planning and municipal service area for zoning and land uses involving unincorporated lands that share a boundary with the city. But that’s a long process, Shanahan said. Establishing the current interlocal boundary agreement with the county for the North U.S. 1 corridor took four years. Hayes said the city could expand the footprint of the North U.S. 1 corridor interlocal boundary agreement, or create a new one. It’s a longterm project with potential legal issues that need to be navigated, he said. “It’s not going to be a quick process or a quick fix, and it’s not something that we’re going to be working on forward right now because there are some things that we’ve got to push forward in front of that,” Hayes said.

Local athletes may soon have safer fields to play on at Ralph Carter Park: Palm Coast Parks and Recreation is planning to regrade the fields in 2024 to fix drainage problems. Parks and Recreation Director James Hirst said the city budgeted $425,000 for the project in the fiscal year 2024 to address concerns residents raised last spring about the park. The work is expected to start this spring. Youth sports teams use the fields at Ralph Carter Park, located at 1385 Rymfire Drive, for practices, and other local organizations use them for events. Over 100 parents, coaches and kids from local youth sports teams flooded a City Council meeting in May to demand that the city fix the fields. Mad Dogs flag football coach Jarrod Maxwell said during the meeting that the fields were a safety hazard because of poor drainage after rainstorms. Maxwell told the Observer that since the park reopened in August, local teams have worked together to minimize the impact on the Ralph Carter fields. The Mad Dogs have been cycling through several local parks for practice and holding games at the Indian Trails Sports Complex during the fall season. So far, he said, the Mad Dogs have only canceled a few practices this fall because of the weather and the potential impact to the field, he said. “We all have no issue with that because it’s going to help preserve the fields for the future,” he said. “So we don’t want to get to a point

where we damaged a field so bad that we have to find a whole new location and go to.” Maxwell said that after the teams came to the City Council meeting, several council members and city staff reached out to work with them to find a solution so that the city’s kids can play safely on the fields. “I’m happy for them. I’m happy that other leagues came together. I’m happy that both high schools came together, and we were able to make a stand for these kids that was very much needed,” he said. Hirst said Parks and Recreation staff hope to begin work on the repairs next May. “We’re looking to really try and get those drains working pretty good so we can have as much play as possible,” Hirst said. The work would include installing under-drains, regrading the field, replacing the sod and addressing some lighting problems, he said. The idea, Hirst said, is to keep the fields open through the end of the next spring session and then close the park down in May for the summer to complete the work. Depending on when the new sod roots, the fields would reopen in the fall of 2024. “Those dates are very tentative, obviously,” he said. “Hopefully [it won’t be] too long, but we’re probably looking at quite a few months.” Send news tips to Sierra Williams at sierra@observerlocalnews.com.

THE FINE ARTS
HEADING SOUTH Born and raised in Stamford, Connecticut, watercolor artist Joseph Costanzo has lived in Ormond for the past 20 years. His painting “Heading South,” was inspired by his memories of watching Canadian geese fly south for the winter from his home state.
“Joe tries to paint scenes that he feels people would want to be a part of, or bring back special memories for them,” the Ormond Beach Art Guild said in a statement to the Observer. “Joe feels that you don’t need to be an artist to appreciate beautiful places and remember good times.”
“Heading South” is one of the works on display at the Art Guild’s Fall 2023 exhibit at The Casements, at 25 Riverside Drive. The opening reception is scheduled for 5:30-7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13. –JARLEENE ALMENAS
THE FINE ARTS A GIRAFFE’S WORLD Seabreeze High School senior Peyton Domayer’s artwork follows the theme of the world from an animal’s point of view. How? By creating a trophy head of a giraffe eating a piece of lettuce, she said in a statement to the Observer. “My inspiration for this artwork came from my trips to the zoo and always wondering what the animals see in their cages, so I created an artwork that looks into what the animal sees the world as,” she said. “Art allows me to put the ideas that are in my head into an artwork for others to see, so creating this artwork allows the viewer to understand my curiosity about an animal’s point of view of the world.” Domayer is a student in Christine Colby’s portfolio honors course. –JARLEENE ALMENAS

Bold Ladies in Business to host breast cancer awareness fundraiser Pilates in the Park will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Oct. 17 at Central Park at Town Center. Proceeds will go to the AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation. SIERRA WILLIAMS STAFF WRITER
COURTNEY AKEL, breast cancer survivor
can Cancer Society’s website. Around 43,700 women and men will die of breast cancer in 2023, according to the ACS. Perry-Smith said the Bold Ladies plan an event each month to support a local charity. “We’re local, we wanted our charities to stay local,” she said. “[Local charities] do something because they live in the community and they saw a deficiency, they saw a need.” Several women in the Bold Ladies are breast cancer survivors or have family members who have been diagnosed, Perry-Smith said. Courtney Akel, a Bold Ladies member since 2020, will be one of two breast cancer survivors sharing their stories at the festival. The median age for receiving a breast cancer diagnosis is 62, according to the ACS, but Akel was 29 when she was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in January 2017 after

a lump formed on one of her breasts. Akel said she was in peak health. Having cancer wasn’t something that had ever occurred to her before, she said. “Literally, I was a division one athlete, and I was in the best shape of my life at 29 when I got diagnosed. I was so mad,” she said. Over the next 10 months, Akel went through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. In October 2017, she finished her treatments. In 2020, after moving to Flagler County, Akel said, she joined the Bold Ladies, meeting several fellow survivors. “It was just really nice finding a support system, like, kind of right when I got here,” she said. Almost six years after her battle, Akel is in remission but still gets checked every year. And she encourages women in their 20s and 30s to check themselves and to be checked by doctors for breast cancer. “I think if I would have given it like two more weeks, I could have been stage four and could not be here today,” Akel said. For Akel, it took her five years after her treatments to really feel like herself again. Now, she has a 1-monthold son and is beginning a new chapter in her life. Beach Barre Fitness owner Gayle Jaffe said that when dealing with a health crisis like cancer, it’s important for people to look at the whole picture of their health: nutrition, activity and mobility. Jaffe has taught fitness in Palm Coast since 1986 and has several exercise and nutrition-related certifications, including as a certified cancer exercise specialist. She will be teaching the Pilates demonstration at the Bold Ladies’ festival. People who go through cancer treatments may feel as though they’ll never be able to exercise again, Jaffe

said, but that is not the case. “They just have to learn how to exercise properly and know when to stop,” she said. The key part of exercise for those going through or recovering from cancer treatments is to stay active and to retain mobility, she said. Pilates is perfect for that because it can be very easily modified to the individual’s needs. “Pilates is just a wonderful way to do that without feeling like you’ve got to jump into a fitness class and keep up with everybody,” Jaffe said. “Pilates, you’re in your own zone.” Akel said she knows her story has already helped at least 20 young women get tested for breast cancer early, and she hopes more women will do so. People can learn about local resources to keep their health a priority at The Bold Ladies’ festival, she said. “You’ve got to do early detection,” Akel said. “I always volunteer to share my story because if I help … women go get checked earlier than they would have been just from hearing my story, I’m making a difference.”
“People … they don’t realize, you know, how terrible cancer treatment can actually be.” ALINA REYES PERRY-SMITH, Bold Ladies in Business cofounder and breast cancer survivor

Alina Reyes Perry-Smith, co-founder of Bold Ladies in Business, celebrated 10 years of being cancer-free in 2023. “People … don’t realize, you know, how terrible cancer treatment can actually be,” she said. Perry-Smith is one of four million breast cancer survivors in the United States, according to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. To support local women and men during national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Bold Ladies in Business will be hosting a health wellness and awareness festival on Oct. 17 to raise money for the AdventHealth Palm Coast Foundation. Perry-Smith said that as of Oct. 3, the Bold Ladies had raised around $2,500, “just by women donating to the cause and buying a booth.” “We’re hoping to get to $3,000 before the end of the night (of Oct. 17) and give it all back to charity,” she said. The Pilates in the Park festival will take place from 4-7 p.m. at Central Park at Town Center during the city’s Food Truck Tuesday event. The festival will include raffles, networking opportunities, two exercise events — yoga and Pilates — and vendors focused on health and wellness. October is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and breast cancer accounts for about a third of all cancer diagnoses in women. In 2023, an estimated 297,790 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, as will 2,800 men, according to the Ameri-

Seabreeze fell to the Satellite Scorpions 22-13 on Oct. 6 at Daytona Stadium in a game that was riddled with penalties, unsportsmanlike conduct and repeated first downs by the Sandcrabs that were called back. “The refs didn’t help us, but there were things we did that could have been better,” Seabreeze head football coach Lester Davis said. “We can’t put it in the refs’ hands. We can’t give them the opportunity to put us in that situation. Like I always say, my boys fight, they don’t flinch. I’m not going to dwell on what they didn’t do.” Sandcrabs running back Denali Campbell rushed for the first and last touchdowns of the game. The junior captain led his teammates through the chaos with 129 yards — 87 yards rushing with two touchdowns and 42 yards receiving. He also had six
tackles. “I love that kid (Campbell),” Davis said. “He’s going to give me all of him — both sides of the ball. I love all my kids. I don’t like the way they were treated tonight, and that’s why I’m really upset.” Gio Mitchell also plays both ways for the Sandcrabs. The H-back and defensive end had eight tackles, two sacks, four tackles-for-loss and one forced fumble. Satellite quarterback Ethan Raffaele was named MaxPreps player of the game with 82 yards passing and a 17-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. He threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Atticus Henderson in the second quarter. Noah Flores added a touchdown in the third quarter. Flores had 26 carries and 134 rushing yards. Satellite (5-2) will play Rockledge Oct. 13 while Seabreeze (1-5) meets Pine Ridge (3-3) on the road. There are four more games remaining in the season for the Sandcrabs. Davis said his players need to work on tackling and making gains in the weight room. They are not where

they want to be strength-wise yet but continue to better themselves. “We’ve got Pine Ridge next,” he said. “They are on the clock and they’re in trouble. I love coach (Eric) Poyner to death. He knows I do, so what I say I know he’s going to take with a grain of salt, but I want his head too. I don’t know to run away or back down. We’re going to fight.”

Former Flagler Palm Coast goalkeeper Tanner Paulo will coach goalies for both the Bulldogs’ boys and girls soccer teams this season. Paulo is a 2022 FPC grad. “We haven’t had goalkeeper coaches for a long time,” FPC boys coach Ramtin Amiri said. “Goalkeepers are often left out during the training sessions, so we felt that was a position where we needed a specific coach. He’ll be at all the games for the girls and boys. Now they’ll have someone to warm them up properly. Goalkeeping has a lot of mechanics, so it will be real beneficial for both teams.” — BRENT WORONOFF

LIGHTNING SAFETY TIPS For those of us living in Florida, we know that along with the warm weather come powerful storms. Keep safe by practicing the following tips:
If you hear thunder roar, go indoors immediately.
Find a safe, enclosed center such as home, or hard-top vehicles with the windows rolled up.
Stay away from tall structures, such as telephone poles and trees.
Avoid contact with water during a storm as lightning can travel through plumbing.
Don’t use anything connected to an electrical outlet, such as computers, washers, etc. Lightning can travel through electrical systems.
Avoid open structures such as porches, gazebos, baseball dugouts, and sports arenas. These structures won’t protect you from lightning.
